Hugo CO? THC in the water based on a test kit some company uses to drug test employees? Cmon now. False positive? How could one contaminate the entire towns water system? Seems like one would need a lot of thc. Weird city.

Seriously, what the fuck is going on here? I call shenanigans - it doesn't seem possible at all that this "just happened".

Some folks say that a hippie won't steal,
But I caught three in my cornfield.
One had a flag, the other had a bomb,
And the third ol boy was dumping bong dregs in the city water supply
Skeedeet 'n deet ta dee-deet doo.

Considering most (all?) forms aren't water soluble it's odd.

Turns out it was a false positive (and a little bit of reefer madness on the sheriff's part, I'm sure)

Saw that and it's exactly what I figured. However this bring into question the validity of some companies drug tests. The reason for the scare was the false positive on some crap piss test some company gives it's employees. Wonder how many didn't get jobs or got fired for false positives. #fuckmandatorydrugtestsforemployment

[vt_ski]

Exactly. There's a longer article (on nytimes or maybe vice) about false positives on roadside drug detection kits cops use. It's insane the number of lives ruined because of the tests false positive rate.

Some market research.

Hold that blueberry pie; the Oregon state fair is now judging best marijuana

To the list of breakthroughs in an ever-changing world where cars drive themselves, faces are surgically transplanted and Russian hackers are accused of manipulating the U.S. presidential campaign, add this development: marijuana growers can now compete for blue ribbons in the state fair.

That’s what Oregon officials say will happen at their fair in Salem next month. Besides tastiest apple pie and plumpest pig, pot will be judged for its finer attributes, including color, aroma, leaf structure and lack of pests.

The top growers will become the nation’s first-ever winners of a state fair ribbon honoring a farm crop outlawed by the federal government. For some, the contest effectively adds another H to the 4-H Club: Herb.

“We regularly reach out to the community with some form of education, to de-stigmatize the industry and the plant,” Don Morse, chair of the Oregon Cannabis Business Council, told leafly.com this week. “For the people at the state fair to let this happen is really groundbreaking.

The inclusion of marijuana in a state fair speaks to its suddenly booming reputation as a cash crop and its growers as the future farmers of America, at least in Oregon, Washington, Colorado, Alaska, and Washington, D.C., where, since 2012, voters have approved legal recreational use of marijuana. It remains illegal in the eyes of the federal government.

California and Nevada are among eight states set to vote on legalization this fall. Marijuana Business Daily predicts legal pot could become an $8-billion industry in two years.

Overseeing the Oregon fair’s panel of judges – and helping sample entries - will be Ed Rosenthal, the 71-year-old Guru of Ganja, as he calls himself. The Oakland publisher, activist and author will help the panel pick nine winners at a pre-fair elimination contest to be held at the fairgrounds Aug. 13-14.

More than 60 growers are expected to showcase their “live” cannabis plants at that event, called the Oregon Cannabis Fair. Three winners in each of three categories based on plant types - sativa, indica and hybrids – will be awarded ribbons and their prize-winning plants put on display at the state fair starting Aug. 26.

Morse, the council chair, says the weed winners and runners-up will receive traditional fair ribbons - blue, purple or yellow.

All plants have to be in vegetative (nonflowering) form, according to an entry form. The state fair exhibit will be displayed in a greenhouse and monitored by a security guard. Visitors must be 21 or older.

“We are not promoting the use of cannabis,” Morse told the Oregonian. “We are there to show plants to people over 21 what award-winning cannabis plants look like.”

And no, marijuana smoking will not be allowed, he added.

So what the fuck are they judging?

I've been on the vape thing for a few years now, then rolled joints for the dead&co shows and I had forgotten how much I enjoy smoking a joint. I rolled a bunch more and stashed them in a rock wall for our mtn bike rides Then last week I went to Santa Cruz and bought a 'straight' glass pipe/bowl for ease of cleaning for the plane ride back. Shockingly, I really enjoy smoking out of that also

Change is good and life rolls on. /blog

A joint is my preferred method of delivery.

Not sure why you would stash them in a rock wall. There are ways of preventing things from getting crushed.

Post of the double persuasion.

[Bobby Stainless]

I hate trimming.

So this guy is laying out 200k to trim his 1000 lbs, every year.

He needs to buy some GreenBroz.

Yeah, when the fuck are the people (all of us) going to be in control of OUR country?

The FDA feeds everyone death pills, but no to mary jane. Blood money sucking douchebags.

The clinical data that could even meet the FDA’s review standards was subject to intense scrutiny. In the end, the FDA could only find 11 research articles that met its review qualifications of being randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical studies.

Pretty safe to say the DEA would like to keep their jobs.
